Study Through the Bible
Emotions are both complicated and complex, both mysterious and mystifying. Even the experts are not sure what causes us to experience emotions. Both social science and neurobiology have tried, to no avail, to explain the origin of emotions. And for Christians, emotions can be troubling, frustrating, and untrustworthy. Some emotions seem deeply spiritual; other emotions seem downright sinful. God created us to experience emotions, yet there are still godly and ungodly ways to manage them. This 12-session course on the Book of Psalms will help you sort them out.

This book teaches us about real faith by giving us God's Word on some of the most daily realities of following Jesus, including suffering, temptation, obedience, social justice and compassion, speech, and prayer.

When we accept God's refining work in us, as Paul did, we will receive the power and faith to complete God's kingdom work.

Transformation—the process of becoming holy—begins in your mind. In this seven-session course, the apostle Peter shows us how to begin to think differently, which will radically affect our behavior.

This kind of obedience will create a radical change in our relationships, so that our quality of life will improve. Finally, we will learn how to prepare for suffering, which inevitably comes to everyone, as we trust a loving God who has promised to take care of us.
